Intangible to Tangible: Detecting white space in Big Data for BI
VIRTUAL • DEC 7, 2021

The value of Big Data is now more apparent than ever, but uncovering the evasive 'white space’ is a challenge that many companies and data analysts still struggle with. By taking a highly visual approach, we can discover gaps within data that indicate underdeveloped technologies, unnoticed connections, and total voids that can be capitalized on. With this, companies can gain new insight for business intelligence, helping turn their intangibles into next-generation tangibles.

Join the focus on white space to learn:

• Methods to discover it
• How to discern the duds from the gems
• How to predict what can emerge from it

SEMINAR • Data as the foundation of life sciences innovation
PALO ALTO • APR 2, 2019

CO-HOSTS WITH SKADDEN, ARPS

As we move into the next generation of life sciences technology, including increased convergence of “traditional” pharma/life sciences technologies with sensors, wireless communications, semiconductors, the Internet and other technologies, we identify data integration at the core.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) in life sciences is impacting the way innovative health technologies and pharmaceuticals are discovered, distributed, manufactured, and consumed, enabling greater personalization across the industry. The power of AI lies in the vast mountains of data generated through R&D, including clinical trials. As companies begin their R&D cycle, it is essential to reassess what data is considered valuable. VALUENEX presents a perspective of the next generation in life sciences innovation, analyzing that data that is often overlooked.

With the new opportunities afforded by this convergence of biotech and high tech come attendant risks. Skadden explores a few of these risks and related challenges for emerging companies seeking to establish a foothold in this competitive landscape and for more established companies that may seek to develop, in-license or acquire new technologies to remain competitive.

TECHNOLOGY CONVERGENCE: what is your global IP strategy to protect and monetize your IP assets?
PALO ALTO • MAY 2, 2018

GUEST SPEAKER

High-tech and Internet-based businesses around the world compete to create new (and often disruptive) technologies, products and services. Many of these innovations result from technology convergence—where previously unrelated technologies are combined into a new product or service. An example of technology convergence is the self-driving vehicle, which combines automobile technology with GPS tracking, machine learning, cloud and mapping technologies, computer vision and data analysis, among others. Through a long history of innovation and commitment to R&D and the securing of patented inventions, many Japanese companies are well-positioned to compete globally in this environment. For such organizations, the key challenge may be formulating a comprehensive IP strategy to maximize the value of their patents and other IP assets.

Hear our speakers explore the topics of technology convergence and IP monetization through case studies involving Digital Health, Self-Driving Vehicles and other products in the Internet of Things space. Don’t miss the chance to explore strategies for your organization to create value from its IP.
